A Banana woman who refused to tell police who owned the drugs in her house, also faced court.

She was charged with possession of dangerous drugs, possessing utensils or pipes for dangerous drugs and failing to properly dispose of a needle and syringe.

Police carried out a search warrant at her address on January 20, where a glass pipe, hypodermic syringe and needle were found along with marijuana inside a tissue box.

She told police: "I guess I will go down for it."

Crystal substances were also found inside a purple wallet but the woman told police other people had been staying at the property.

The woman refused to tell police who owned the dangerous drugs and utensils. She was convicted on three drug charges and sentenced to 15 months probation. She was also fined $350 for failure to appear.
